Reactive architecture
As cloud-native architecture can have various moving parts due to multiple microservices and small modules, they need to be protected from failure. Reactive architecture is a design approach for building software that can efficiently handle changes and stay responsive under various conditions. It benefits large-scale and distributed systems that must maintain high availability and responsiveness, even in the face of failures or high demand.
The principles of reactive architecture are based on the Reactive Manifesto, a document that outlines the core traits of reactive systems: responsive, resilient, elastic, and message-driven. You can find details on the Reactive Manifesto by visiting: https://www.reactivemanifesto.org/:
- Responsive: Reactive systems prioritize responsiveness, ensuring they respond to user requests promptly regardless of the system’s load or state.
- Resilient: Reactive systems are designed to handle failures gracefully...
